Just no one do that. (There are many such things in our free soft world. :) Linux supports SSE only because Intel officially made SSE patch for them. There are some people tried that, but it seems stopped. Some very small result are done but not total thing. Below is: http://www.jp.freebsd.org/cgi-bin/show-mail/FreeBSD-tech-jp/2642 (Japanese) There is a test code(sse_test.c), patches for FreeBSD 3.3(SSE.diff). It enables only single process using SSE on a SSE processer. I've not tried it yet. ----- Nakai To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
